OSAGE COUNTY, Kan. (WIBW) - Authorities say a domestic call in Osage County left one man dead and four law enforcement officers injured.
Update #2: The suspect has been identified as Stephen McMillan, 22, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
Update #1: The Kansas Highway Patrol says all four law enforcement officers sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
Three of the injured were Osage County Sheriff’s Deputies. They were taken to Stormont Vail Hospital in Topeka. A Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper was also taken to Stormont and then transferred to KU Med for further treatment. All four were shot.
At a Saturday afternoon news conference, KHP Superintendent Erik Smith and KBI Director Tony Mattivi declined to provide further information about the extent of their injuries.
Mattivi said a male civilian, who they referred to as the suspect, was shot and killed. A second male civilian was wounded. Authorities say their condition is stabilized.
The KBI says the Osage Co. Sheriff’s Office and KHP responded around 10:30 a.m. Saturday to a residence north of 113th and S. Topeka Blvd. The location is north of Carbondale in Osage Co.
“After being on scene for less than 10 minutes, gunfire erupted,” Smith said. “The suspect died from injuries he received from gunshot wound.”
KHP says the incident has concluded, and there is no ongoing threat to the public.
“Multiple, multiple law enforcement agencies responded immediately when the call went out,” Mattivi said. “We want to thank all of those departments for their assistance.”
Shawnee Co. Sheriff Brian Hill confirms his agency is among several on scene in Osage Co.

The Topeka Police Department posted to social media that they, too, were sending officers to assist what they called “a developing situation in Osage County.” TPD said none of its officers is injured.
